Chapter 18: Kasumi Gekko
"By the way, are you getting assigned to a team like the rest of us?" Tenten asked as they walked along the training field path, her sandals crunching on the gravel.
Garou tilted his head, a little puzzled. "Am I supposed to be treated differently?"
"You seriously don't see it?" Tenten stared at him like he'd just claimed the sky was green.
After all, what kind of normal ninja keeps inventing new jutsu before even graduating?
Lately, if Garou went more than a couple of weeks without some new technique, she'd get uneasy, like something was missing in her life.
Garou shrugged. "I mean, maybe just a little. But unless something weird happens, I should be assigned like everyone else. No idea who the sensei is, though."
He wasn't being completely honest.
He had a hunch.
If memory served him right, this was around the time Kakashi stepped down from the Anbu. He had a reputation for occasionally taking on genin teams, but his standards were brutal.
As in, zero percent success rate brutal. Judging by how often Kakashi had been popping up around him lately, his future jonin leader was none other than Kakashi.
Tenten might get assigned to Might Guy or, who knows, maybe end up on the same team as him.
